JM

Could JMJ be coming into his own? I compared him to Werth a few yrs ago, maybe he is just taking longer? his plate approach seems different, and his stance does not look as cramped…I know I know, sample size and all that, but I like the kid and want him and the Phillies to succeed…

JMJ has most likely reached his peak and usefulness. He’s a good platoon or 4th outfielder, but not a starter. He still has too many issues with breaking balls and righties… Werth was younger and his development was delayed by injury–not so much the case with JMJ.

Although I have to ask, wtf happened to Werth? His bat is coming around, but his defense now stinks. The Nats have no chance of even getting half of what they paid for if this is his defense going forward.

Not sure if I agree with Aumont as best reliever. Of course, we don’t know what might have played out if Revere had caught Phillips’s liner in the suspended game, but it’s quite possible that he would have surrendered one or more ER’s if the inning had continued.
